Obviously, this is an incomplete list.

• Genderfriend
• Lover
• Sweetie/Sweetheart
• Partner
• Cuddle buddy
• Soul mate
• Steady
• [name]friend
• Mate
• personfriend

I personally love “main squeeze.”

I will only ever say “sweetie” in a British accent per River Song.

I have been referring to my hypothetical eventual sweetie as “queerfriend,” as in when I have a queerfriend we can double date with my two fave married couples all the time and life will be wonderful.

I’m trying to imagine the reaction if I went around introducing/talking about my SO as my “soulmate” in casual conversation.

My mom and I are fond of “potential life partner.” Not necessarily always applicable, but hey. She also likes to refer to my SO as her “future ex-son-in-law,” so there’s that.

One of my friends in college refers to her dude as her “significant whatever.” This is my absolute favorite way of referring to someone.
